40th Anniversary Aqualung is KILLER


The 40th anniversary collectors edition, which includes a 180 gram LP and the new remixed album a bunch of extra tracks and everything in 24/96 HiRes on DVD and Bluray., plus the Quad mixes and 5.1... sound quality is amazing even the Redbook is very very impressive and it's the best version of Aqualung I've ever heard even bettering the superb DCC version.. Kudo's to Ian Anderson and Steve Wilson for the remix.. next up is Thick as a Brick...

I just received the 2 CD version. Although I think it's a sonic improvement over the original CD version, it's louder. I had to turn the volume down on the remaster to level match the two versions. For the sake of full disclosure, both are ripped lossless to iTunes.

The irony is, in the liner notes, Steve Wilson himself states specifically that he didn't raise the levels. So that part was a disappointment to me.

All said I feel the remaster (remix) is a step up in sonics and clarity plus an overall improvement.
